	Diocese to Pay $2.9m to Girl Abused at St. Pius X By Brooks Egerton The Dallas Morning News September 13, 2006 http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/ localnews/stories/091306dnmetabuse.55fb887.html The Catholic Diocese of Dallas has agreed to pay $2.9 million to another girl who was sexually abused by a parish child-care worker in the 1990s, lawyers in the case said Tuesday. It's the largest lawsuit settlement to date for victims of Julio A. Marcos, who worked at St. Pius X in Far East Dallas and is serving a life prison term for sex crimes. Payments to nine girls total about $11 million. Two claims are pending – one from a Marcos victim and one from a girl who was abused by another Pius X child-care worker. That worker, Patrick Willhoite, also has been convicted of sexual abuse and imprisoned. All the victims allege that Pius X officials ignored warning signs about the two workers, which diocese representatives deny.
